You're very welcome, hun! :sunny: Are you with me on PW? Very nice. :rockon: hehe. I've been a fan of his for 10 years. :p

Thanks a lot, hun!! My first week was surprisingly easy! It's not as hard as people (ESPECIALLY non vegetarians/vegans, even though they havent even tried it!!) make out. :) And I'm feeling good. It's great! Are you vegetarian? :)

Are you vegetarian? Yes, DH & I decided to go vegetarian about a year ago after watching Earthlings and Meet your Meat. My sister has been vegetarian for 35 years, and vegan for the last 5 years and she really helped me to see the light! I'm very lucky to have her!

DH and I are mostly vegan, but as per many a discussion on this forum (!) I refrain from describing myself as vegan as there are some things that we still don't/can't do..... Anyhoo, I am aspiring to be vegan!

We have two boys, ages 5 and 3 and they are vegetarian at home, and one of them absolutely hates dairy anyway. We are not entirely strict with them when they are out of the home. Next year I plan to take on the school canteen as there are a very sad number choices for a vegetarian kid there and nothing for a vegan kid.

:)

Two veg*ns in the one family....always a bonus! :)

I'm thinking I should do the same. My kids eat vegetarian at home but at school I'd like them to at least have a healthy choice, not all this sausage roll and pizza and banana cake crap!

school canteens need so much more vegetarian/vegan options!!

thats absolutely fantastic, charlotte!!!! :) canteens' need to be more flexible...

Yeah, fight the system!

Ha ha.

LOL yeah, put up a big fight! :P you'd think they'd want to have a broader range of foods... :( lol

anyone going to the 2008 sydney vegan expo on sunday? :D

I can't go this year, got something on this Sunday.

I went in 2006 though, it wasn't bad. :)


cool the planet (http://www.vegansocietynsw.com/vs/html/index.html)

why do expos always finish at 4pm?? im barely awake by then, and then when you get there all the good food and stuffs gone :brood:

Yep.....we need the expo for slackers :cool:

:yes: :rockon:

i cant read any of the pmz youve sent cuz it keeps diverting to your profile :dizzy: is this some secret way of bumping up your profile views?? :)

Huh?

Do you mean when you open them?

yeah. except i cant open them, it just opens your profile page instead. i might just restart. brb.

i hope they have plenty packets of Vege Chips at the expo on Sunday. ;) haha

Push to outlaw hybrid supercats

'The Federal Government has been urged to close a loophole that allows pet shops to import hybrid cats that are twice as big as domestic species and can jump two metres from a standing start.
The Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre says a number of pet shops are advertising expensive hybrids of domestic cats and the much bigger wild African servals'.
More here (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/06/06/2267441.htm?site=local).

Just what we need - another introduced species to wreak havoc on our wildlife. :no:

:surprised Makes me wonder :confused: how they let you into the country Bof :shifty: :D

wow, thats not too good.

We (NZ) went through the stupidity of legalizing ferret farming for fur , about 20 years ago, they were warned about them breaking out , most of the sheds were by native bush . They didn't break out , the price of fur crashed , the farmers didn't want to kill them so they just open the doors ....we are still trying to sort through that mess .

Those pet shops should be picketed in the land of OZ that are selling those supercats , they hate that sort of thing .

As I've pointed out to you before, this is the Australian thread so rack off back to Aotearoa. (BTW - My friend likes your avatar! :yes: :D )
